Honoring Thy Stay-At-Home Father

By: Elizabeth Maxwell (View Profile)

  • Building lasting friendships: Dad’s also been great for the kids’ chances to build friendships that will last a lifetime. Every time one of the kids gets an invite to go somewhere with a friend after school, he lets them go. They’ve had countless hours with friends doing God knows what that I probably would never have agreed to.

 
In all seriousness, though, our stay-at-home dad has given our kids an experience that they couldn’t get with me. They’ve been given more freedom, but also more responsibility and because of it they’ve developed more character. So this Father’s Day, the world is his oyster and we’ll do whatever he wants to do. Even if that means that I have to be Mr. Crabs.

Great article! Since their value is so high, I've always thought stay-at-home dads would become the new soccer moms.
